Friday 55-Holy of Holies

Only the high priest could enter,
only one day a year,
only after admitting his unworthiness,
only in vulnerability
could he meet God's heart.
We are not god and priest,
but we carry the divine spark
and I ask you,
before approaching my heart.
 to enter meekly,
confess your weakness
as I reveal my own.

  5. Such things are often pondered, seldom truly understood.

    So, does it matter that one of my newest, dearest friends is a female priest in a rather stoic and staid religion? Safety in numbers, I always think...

    Really fantastic 55
    You are as creative as they come when
    You put your mind to it.
    Thanks for playing, and have a quiet and KickAss Week-End

  11. It reminds me of something CS Lewis once said -

    "Apart from the Blessed Sacrament iteself, your neighbor is the holiest thing that will ever be presented to your senses. . ."
